AWS Trusted Advisor now monitors service limits for Amazon SES, Amazon VPC, and Auto Scaling

Posted on: May 21, 2014

Starting today, AWS Trusted Advisor will help you monitor service usage for Amazon SES, Amazon VPC, and Auto Scaling, bringing the service coverage from four (Amazon EC2, Amazon EBS, Amazon RDS, and Elastic Load Balancing) to seven. The Service Limits check alerts you if your usage goes over 80% of the default limit, so you can request a service limit increase ahead of time. You can review your Service Limits report in Trusted Advisor’s Performance category.
